A template for locksmiths who keep people secure and out of lockouts.
Locksmiths install, repair, and open locks for residential, commercial, and automotive clients. Day-to-day work ranges from cutting keys and rekeying cylinders to responding to emergency lockouts and fitting high-security systems. Most locksmiths are either self-employed, work for a local locksmith firm, or are employed by facilities management companies and large retail chains. A typical week is unpredictable — emergency callouts sit alongside scheduled security audits and safe installations.
MLA Approved Master Locksmith with 12 years of experience in residential, commercial, and automotive locksmithing. CRB/DBS checked with full public liability insurance. Specialist in high-security systems, access control, and UPVC mechanisms.
Locksmith CVs must show your MLA qualification level, specialisations, and DBS status. Include the types of locks and security systems you work with and any commercial access control experience.
MLA certification, emergency entry, access control systems (Paxton, SALTO), UPVC/multipoint locks, auto locksmithing, safe opening, BS 3621/TS 007 standards, and DBS clearance.
Not mentioning your DBS status and insurance coverage upfront. Clients need reassurance. If self-employed, include your Google/Checkatrade rating, review count, and annual callout volume.
One page. Lead with MLA qualification level and DBS status. Include callout volume and customer rating if self-employed. List specialist skills prominently.
Figures in USD. Ranges reflect mid-level experience (3–7 years). Senior roles and major metro areas typically sit at the top of these bands.
Large facilities management companies like CBRE and Sodexo hire locksmiths on in-house maintenance teams — they want to see relevant certifications (CRB/DBS check, Master Locksmith Association membership) and experience with access control systems. Security companies like G4S or Securitas look for locksmiths who can also assess and install electronic access systems. Independent locksmith franchises such as Mr. Locksmith want reliable, customer-facing tradespeople — highlight any van-based mobile experience and emergency callout track record.
